StopTech Brake Options for Early Porsche 911

StopTech Brake Options for Early Porsche 911

StopTech has introduced a comprehensive new program of StopTech Big Brake Kits for the iconic 1969-1989 Porsche 911 model range. The program covers the most common stock wheel sizes such as the 15″ Fuchs, all model year variations, and supplements the comprehensive range of OE replacement parts offered by Centric Parts. StopTech brake components require little-to-no vehicle modifications and offer significantly improved braking performance, feel and modulation over stock systems, as well as reduced fade.

With stiffer components and patented heat management technology, all StopTech High Performance Brake Kits provide shorter stopping distances, better brake modulation, firmer pedal feel and less brake fade for stronger, more reliable performance on and off the track.

StopTech Level 1 Street Kits Designed primarily for the street, although they have been engineered to handle track duty as well. They include painted StopTech ST42 4-piston calipers front or rear, with the front kits using 282×28 mm 2-pc rotors and the rear kits using 290×24 mm 1-pc rotors with e-coated black hats. Level-1 system designed to fit 15” Fuchs wheels and keep a stock look. Target 911 – Street, Autocross, Time Trial.

All kits, as well as the complete line of StopTech braking systems and components are available through authorized motorsports distributors and performance automotive aftermarket retailers today.

The StopTech Big Brake Kits for 1969-1989 Porsche 911 won the 2016 Best Performance Product Award from the Import Vehicle Community (IVC), the import product arm of the Auto Care Association.

The program covers the most common stock wheel sizes and model year variations of early 911 models, and supplements the comprehensive range of OE replacement parts offered by Centric Parts for these vehicles. Like most StopTech brake components, the new Porsche kits require little-to-no vehicle modifications and offer significantly improved braking performance, feel and modulation over stock systems, as well as reduced fade.

“We are honored to once again be recognized by the Import Vehicle Community,” stated Lelchuk. “Our entire team works diligently to develop and produce the best brake and chassis components in the aftermarket. And being honored like this by the industry keeps us motivated as we continue to grow our research and development programs to keep us ahead of the competition.”
